This is a perfect example of the ridiculous situations arising from present immmigration legislation. To deport this girl would be completely unjust, inhumane and just plain stupid, not to mention sinful. When are we going to agree that punishing children who have been here since childhood for the sins of their parents is not right. Such action also flies in the face of the spirit of our country that the Statue of Liberty represents.
One reply on “New evidence of a need for new legislation about immigration”
There is good news in this case. But it is still not good enough. A long term solution is needed that removes the Damoclean sword from over the head of the children of immigrants.
